[QUOTE="6.5-300 BEE, post: 1885391, member: 113845"] My smith stands behind what he does, including the Nitriding. My RUM is a 1/2 MOA rifle. Hard to figure out why the Edge exists. Nobody has proven it can do anything better than the RUM. I really doubt 3200 fps w/a 300 Berger in 32", but what do I know ? From here in 2012: " [CENTER][TABLE] [TR] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD]Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Wyoming Posts: 2,615 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]Re: Lapua vs RUM Case Capacity[/B] The 338-300 RUM and 338 Lapua loaded to the same pressures are virtually identical performance wise.
